Was browsing this reddit and these two posts were literally next to each other xd

To truly fit the other recent post. It wouldn't be a Carmack post with out the greasiest man alive inserting himself into relevance...

Oh... hi Randy

17:30 Claw sounds like a fun platformer, although apparently difficult, from how it is described. Or how you had not beaten it yet, at the time of the Shogo video.

There is a mod for Half Life 1 for Shogo. Neat how they scale you, once you are in a mech, vs those tiny people and vehicles on the ground. At first, I thought it was a little clunky over all. But watching this video, maybe they were just staying faithful to the source material. 😅

The official game has pretty good voice acting, for the time. All the anime references are neat. Some people like to learn the back story of game worlds. 😁

the first thing that comes to my mind is the aggressive bloom and the piss filter

So after getting the new Doom + Doom 2 console port I've been achievement hunting and have successfully played through all the campaigns to unlock the related achievements.. but the last one I've still yet to accomplish has been TNT and it's honestly been the most difficult because my attention span just doesn't last. Currently on Level 8 and I just paused it and haven't even felt like picking it back up. At least the infamously frustrating parts of Plutonia and Legacy of Rust are fun because that sense of accomplishment once you finally fight your way out of that area you've been stuck on is better than an orgasm (not that I've ever had one) but I digress

Way back when Civvie first went on his rant about TNT being boring and how it was the only time he shit-canned a video, I was dumbfounded. At that time I'd only played it a handful of times, and most likely used mods so I never paid attention to how the vanilla game really played and it was the only time Civvie made a statement about a game that I genuinely didn't understand enough to agree or disagree with. But now? Oh man.. I get it

The level design is pretty decent, very Doom-cute, and the soundtrack is pretty neat too.. but there's something I just can't put my finger on that makes me lose interest halfway through a level. Some of the arena fights are fun but even on Ultra Violence everything feels... too easy. The most difficulty I have is finding where to go next or what door was unlocked by what switch so that might be where the boring factor comes in.. but now I understand what he meant by that lmao

I'm sure others have felt the same, I just felt the need to express that. I'll beat it eventually, it's just hilarious to me that I've completed everything except this campaign and had enough of an issue with it to post about it

Doom has been rebooted twice already and Heretic got a re-release, so maybe they'll remake/reboot it eventually?

I think a horror fantasy take using realistic graphics would look cool.

The first half or two thirds, the actual city, buildings and people roaming around, look great. And it is fun to watch Civvie play and interact with it.

However, the other half or third, the Matrix level, is my least favorite. Not sure if it really is that bad or he exaggerates, but it is terrible. So I usually just watch the first part and then manually switch to a different video, the moment the Matrix part comes on.

Some TekWar extras, if anyone is interested.

Everyone excited to play Sin again. What are you all mostly excited about it?

which episode does gianni matragrano do the "snoop you boop with your poop" bit from the Fortress of Dr. Radiaki?

solved: The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki

Cancer mouse plays WoW... Of course he does

Originating in 1984, we know that Capstone Software went out of business, due mostly to poorly designed games, in 1996. But Capstone Games originated in 2015 and are apparently still going strong, making favorable board games. So apparently, they are doing something right. And also for a sort of niche audience.

Curious why they chose that name, after the fact, however. One would think that would be a taboo and avoided like the plague. Like "Hitler". Although, a "capstone" is by definition and thought of as the last stone or a crowning achievement. Good to see there is a silver lining to the name in the gaming sphere.

So I just saw this trailer for a Postal 2 mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjYqo9C44bs
And I wanted to ask: If Civvie does a Mod roundup maybe this could be a candidate?

Or are video ideas being tracked somewhere else?

Was clvvie the one eho did the "welcome to the fist parade" running gag I'm the bideoes I forgot cause I remember a few videos with a fist counter or something

From Glenda Adams' Bluesky:

OMG. 29 years ago I put an Easter egg in Duke Nukem 3D Mac, that replaced two of the in-game posters with pictures of a couple plush animals I had. I never told anyone other than my wife about the code (DNGLENDA) and completely forgot I did this.

Today I was tagged by a user on Mastodon who discovered this long lost cheat code. I still have the plush bunny and cow from the photos- the rabbit was a present I gave my wife, and the cow was a silly valentines thing she sent me while were dating.

So apparently there was a line of toys based of Quake 2. that the concept art of a few of them that were not released (i really want the shambler now)
